Law enforcement analytics and action meet seasoned architectural savvy and crisis communications experience to bring you the most thorough findings regarding your site’s safety and your organization’s ability to navigate danger.
Vulnerability Assessment
A Vulnerability Assessment conducted by the Soteria Group aligns a combined 46 years in law enforcement with a highly seasoned team of architects who bring deep experience in school and workplace design and infrastructure development to the evaluation process.
This professional integration of safety precaution, crisis prevention and strategic environmental thinking allows us to examine all risk factors which might impact your location and community.
As a result, our assessments are thorough, comprehensive and relevant. The Soteria Group assesses your site’s physical impediments, the psychosocial concerns you may have regarding the immediate community for which you are responsible and to whom you are liable, and the technology and behavioral risks your organization is facing.
